Child
Re P and another (children) (Hague Convention: consent) [2021] EWHC 2184 (Fam), [2021] All ER (D) 20 (Aug)
The father applied for the summary return to the United States of America under the Hague Convention 1980 or under the inherent jurisdiction, of his daughters P, age 12, and Q, age 11, who were living in the UK with their mother. The mother opposed the application. The Family Division dismissed the father’s applications as it found that on the evidence the defence of consent had been made out by the mother.
Company
Re Provident SPV Ltd [2021] EWHC 2217 (Ch), [2021] All ER (D) 24 (Aug)
The applicant company’s application for the sanctioning of a scheme of arrangement succeeded. The company had been set up to assume the liabilities of two other companies that provided small loans to individuals on low or moderate incomes. The Chancery Division held that the scheme met the requirements in the case law, and that none of the matters raised by the Financial Conduct Authority raised any other factors which weighed against the court sanctioning the scheme.
